<\/a><\/p>\nTake wearables oriented toward health &\u00a0wellness delivering dry information. When people are exercising they also need motivation and\u00a0encouragement.\u00a0How can we take those quick glaneable UIs which physical exercise\u00a0usage calls for but make them\u00a0more like a coach who encourages you. Motivates you. Urges you to do better.<\/p>\n
Perhaps a “Chernoff Coach.”<\/p>\n
This “coaches face” conveys not just motivation but also conveys encouragement. A glanceable UI that conveys not just how you are doing but prompts you to improve.<\/p>\n
Chernoff faces are\u00a0glanceable UIs. \u00a020-30 different data elements can be conveyed in a standard Chernoff face. No one has taken the human like face and taken advantage of it being a face, an actor.<\/p>\n
It is dealing with the challenge of conveying information. Most glanceable displays try to thin out the information or reduce the set of variable. But instead take a Chernoff Face approach. \u00a0It directly attacks making a GLANCEABLE UI by using our inherent human specific talent of being able to see, recognize, interpret, and understand FACES. Faces are a basic element of our fundamental glacing at the phenomenological level.<\/p>\n
When can I buy\u00a0my Chernoff Coach on a wrist?<\/p>\n
“I Want My Chernoff Coach On A Wrist!”<\/strong><\/p>\n Some of Chernoff’s\u00a0original points in his article might support\u00a0this possible new use of Chernoff faces.<\/p>\n “Certain major characteristics of the faces are instantly observed<\/em> and easily remembered in terms of emotions and appearance.”<\/p>\n
